CONGRATS!!

Congratulations to the SOPHOMORE class who took 1st place in mag drive! Also, great job Madison DiNapoli, our top seller, who will be going to Hawaii!

We all did an amazing job this year, ladies. Keep up the good work as we head in toward the holiday drives! Save your spare change for penny drive, start collecting you paper bags and non-perishable food for food drive, and finding some toys for toy drive!

Keep on rockin' girls!!

Love,
Lindsay :)

Happy Parish Day!

Hi everyone!

Parish day was fun today- the Lit Band sounded great, and hopefully you had the chance to go and visit your parish youth ministers and found some ways to get involved!

There are only two days of Mag Drive left- make sure to do your best! The sophomores are looking good- are the other classes up for the challenge? We'll see by Friday!

If you're looking for some great theater entertainment, make sure you go and see SnipITS on Thursday at 2:15 or on Friday at 7:30. Our extremely talented actresses have been working hard to put together an entirely student-run show, which promises to be great. You can buy tickets from an ITS officer or buy them at the door!

Speaking of entertainment, the Bones premiere is this Thursday night at 8:00! We shall finally get to see whether Booth has lost his memory permanently... or if he will recognize Bones and finally admit that he loves her. Who's excited?!

Finally, ASB is gearing up for Fall Leadership Conference! We have been working hard for the past couple weeks to make this overnight at Pres an awesome one. Student Council, make sure you bring your class level shirt, a very comfy sleeping bag for the hallways, and your spirit! We hope that you learn a lot and have the opportunity to bond with your fellow student council officers as well.

I saw the sun!

Happy Friday my sunflowers! Aren't you excited? The weekend is here!
This week was pretty chaotic for me and it got me sick...literally.
So I'm stuck here at home and not at the place to be...of course
Presentation High School!

I hope all of you are working hard because today is another turn in day
for Mag Drive.
Let's earn that third holiday shall we?
I'm also sad that I'm not attending Leadership Academy. All of you who
are signed up will get a kick out of these workshops. Take it from me,
it's very helpful! I should be sleeping but before I go, don't get sick!
D: Flu season is around the corner. So make sure you wash your hands and
drink lots of fluids!

Giving you rainbows and butterflies,
Arisa

P.S. For all of you going to the Bell mixer, make sure you be good!
Represent our school with pride!
Dance like these little cuties.

Aww!

P.P.S. Is it me or has it been super hot lately?

Club Day 2009!

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great time at the club day assembly- there were so many to choose from! Freshmen, make sure you don't overdo it, and only join the clubs that you are really interested in. Upperclassmen, feel free to try something new and expand your horizons! It's never too late to get involved at Pres and make some new friends. 

Panther Pride had some pretty crazy relays going on at lunch today. Make sure you look out for their events in the future, like the Spring Spirit Carnival and A-Day Smackdowns every other Friday! If you feel the need to let out your stress by playing some hardcore sports against your teachers, grab a t-shirt and join in. 

Also, hopefully you're getting extremely pumped for the Mag Drive assembly on Wednesday! Get ready for some class-level competition, and get ready to make some noise!

Have a wonderful week!

Mag Drive Tips!

Student Council knows that selling a large number of magazines can be tough, especially when the competition is so fierce! So, we've compiled a list of helpful hints to sell as much as you can!

1. Homeroom Reps and Class Officers- lead by example!

2. Competitions between homerooms, losing teacher should dress up!

3. Mag Queen of the day- whoever sells the most of the day gets to wear a tiara for the day

4. Neighborhood sales with friends- be careful of stranger danger!

5. Expand customer horizons with:

a. Renewals from previous customers

b. Mass emails to relatives

c. Go to parents’ workplaces

d. Hit up doctors, dentists, and hair salons

e. Ask club sports teams

f. Ask middle school teachers

g. Have distant relatives order online!

Good luck!

1 Week Down, 17 to Go!

I hope you all loved your first week back as much as I did! Everyone looks a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit taller, and a little bit tanner! To all of the returning Pres girls, how’s it like being back at school? Have you noticed the new parking spots and trophy cabinets? And to all of the freshmen, what do you think of Pres so far?

Are you guys ready for MAG DRIVE? Don’t forget, tryouts for the kickoff are at 12:30 every day this week. Start selling those magazines to everyone you know: aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends, teachers, neighbors, and co-workers! Remember, you can even sell magazines online. Consider sending everyone you know an email with the link to the website (www.qsp.com). Here are the instructions on how to have people purchase magazine subscriptions online:
- Go to www.qsp.com
- Push the link that says "just shopping"
- Enter the Presentation ID: 425002400
- Use a Visa or Master Card
- Forward the E-mail of your receipt to me at [insert your email address here]

Now to all of my funky fresh freshmen, are you ready to boogie with the Bell boys? Get your glow sticks and neon attire ready because tickets to the “Tell Me When to Glow” themed frosh mixer will be sold on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12:30 in the courtyard! The tickets are $10 each. Come by to visit some of your ASB buddies! Remember, tickets for Pres girls will not be sold at the door so get them while they’re hot!

And while your return to school also signifies that fall TV shows are coming out soon, make sure TiVo becomes your best friend and get your homework done. Keep on rocking!

Sending you hugs,
Lindsay

Mag Drive preparation... and Frosh Mixer, of course!

Hi guys!

We are currently in Ms. Bengston's room, putting together our amazing ASB dance for the mag drive rally! Are you READY for this?! We can't give you any details regarding our songs, because they are top secret. But be prepared for a whole bunch of skilled moves. If you are interested in challenging us by getting together your own crew for mag drive, bring it on! Tryouts are all next week at 12:30 every day. Grab some friends, mix some music, and have fun! Listen to the bulletin for more information.

To get you in the mood, here are some links to Mag Drive dances throughout the years. Enjoy!






Also, the frosh mixer is coming up next Friday in the Pres gym with the Bell freshmen! The theme is "Tell Me When to Glow"- so bring your glowsticks and get ready to dance! We are so excited to be there with
you guys.
